Members of the public may address the Board of Supervisors in person on any matter listed on the published meeting agenda when the Board Chair opens the item for public comment.
Agenda items categorized on the Consent Calendar are commonly approved with one motion by the Board. If the item you wish to comment on is categorized on the Consent Calendar, you must make your comment when the Board Chair calls for public comment during the Adoption of Agenda and Approval of Consent Calendar portion of the meeting.
Matters not on a regular meeting agenda and within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board may be addressed during Open Forum. Public comments during Open Forum are limited to three (3) minutes per person and the total amount of time for Open Forum may be limited at the discretion of the Board. California law prohibits the Board from taking action on any matter which is not on the posted agenda.
Public comment periods may be limited or modified by the Board Chair or by majority vote of the Board.
At the time you speak:
• Step up to the podium and state your name for the record (Providing your name is voluntary).
• If you have written material to present to the Board, please provide eight (8) copies to the Clerk present in the room during a meeting.
• Confine your comments to the context of the agenda item under consideration.
